minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·9 hours agoEh, fair I guess, I just don’t see any weird with this, granted I live in Sweden where water is abundant so my frame of reference is different.
minus-squareUltraBlack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·8 hours agoCleaning our drinking water is quite a complicated process. I think it’s pointless to just waste all that energy because you can afford to. And with seasonal droughts becoming more and more common in Europe…
minus-squarestoy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 hours agoHere in Sweden we seldom carry water when out camping in our inland, there is so much clean water comming out of the ground that it is unneeded. This is changing, but still mostly accurate.

minus-squareUltraBlack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down2·5 hours agoIt needs to be cleaned too. And the treatment facility doesn’t differentiate between water + excrement and water that was clean. Sewage is sewage. You know what happens when there is no sewage handling infrastructure.
